PASSING TRACKS OUTSIDE


TODAY I STEPPED OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE AND WENT UP TO STRANGERS ON THE STREET TO PASS OUT TRACKS.  I WAS REALLY SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH MORE RECEPTIVE THEY WERE THEN PEOPLE IN THE STATES. SOME OF THE PEOPLE JUST WANT A TRACK TO SEE WHAT WE ARE PASSING OUT TO OTHER PEOPLE, WHICH IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE WHEN THEY RECEIVE THAT THEY START TO READ IT. I WAS SUPER TIRED BECAUSE I HAD TO WAKE UP AT 5AM TO BE DOWN TOWN AT 6AM. I WASNT SURE AT FIRST ABOUT WALKING UP TO RANDOM PEOPLE AT FRUIT STANDS, BUT ONCE I DID IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THEN I THOUGHT. I WAS SO CRAZY TO ME HOW THE PEOPLE WOULD COME FIND US LATER AND WANT US TO EXPLAIN MORE TO THEM ABOUT GOD. I HAD A FUN DAY TODAY ALTHOUGH IM TIRED. I REALLY MISS YOU DREW, DAD AND DEVIN. LOVE JERICA

Jerica,
Stepping out like that is a very hard thing to do but look at you, God is very happy when people step out for his glory. Enjoy the rest of the time you have there. See you soon.
